That said, I don't really care about Flash support, I don't like the 2.2 volume control implementation (Can only have vibrate OR silent available in the volume control, must enter the settings menu each time), and many have said the 2.2 update has many other issues.

2.1 is running very smoothly for me with few glitches. I'd hate to flash 2.2, have something go wrong and be forced to accept a FRU.

If anything, I will wait until the bugs in 2.2 are worked out, then take the steps to get to it then.
